RUDRA VEENA The Sound of SHIVA

RUDRA VEENA is the most ancient instrument of India, the ancestor of the Sitar and Guitar. “RUDRA“ is one of the names of SHIVA. It is said that Lord Shiva Himself, wanting to give meditation to human beings, decided to create a musical instrument. He made it from two pumpkins and a bamboo stick, and practiced it in the forests of the Himalayas until the deers would come to listen, and they would weep from the sheer beauty of the sound...
